“What’s the matter? Are you talking about Shiyun’s gift?” Jian Yunnao asked. There was confusion in his eyes.

“Yep, that’s right.” Jian Yuncheng replied.

“Didn’t we talk about it just now?” Jian Yunnao asked.

They had just talked about it. Jian Yuncheng had even seen the paper bag.

“I want you to say everything in front of Mom and Dad.” Jian Yuncheng replied. His eyes were cold and his face was void of expression.

Jian Yunnao paused for a moment. Then he turned around and said, “Mother, father. I found the gift that Shiyun prepared in the bushes near the front of the house. The bags were the same. She also had a sweater and scarf inside the bag. Shiyun didn’t lie. She just didn’t know that the bag that Aunt An had picked up wasn’t hers.”

Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan furrowed their brows. All of a sudden, their mood sank.

Jian Yuncheng continued to question Jian Yunnao, “So, what do you think about all of this? Do you think that it is a coincidence?”

“Brother?”

“Tell me what you think. I want to hear what you think about this ‘coincidence’.”

Jian Yuncheng wasn’t stupid. Jian Yunnao’s words revealed his doubt regarding this ‘coincidence’.

He wanted Jian Yunnao to express his doubts in full detail in front of his parents.

As Jian Yuncheng requested him to do so, Jian Yunnao didn’t hide his suspicions anymore.

“Yes, I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I feel like there’s too much of a coincidence. Why are the two bags the same? Why are the contents so similar as well? They were even placed in the same place! Shiyun was right. There is no reason for her to tell such a lie. It’s too easily debunked. There is no reason for her to pick up a brick and drop it on her own foot.”

Jian Yunnao said all of his suspicions out loud.

“And so?” Jian Yuncheng asked. He wanted to hear Jian Yunnao’s conclusion.

Jian Yunnao paused for a moment.

Then he looked up at his parents and older brother.

Finally, he made up his mind and spoke, “I think that it was done by Yiling. I don’t think that there’s such a coincidence in life.”

He said it word by word. The message was clear.

At the door, he hadn’t expressed such thoughts to Jian Yuncheng.

However, he had already thought about this.

As soon as Jian Yunnao’s words came out, Wen Nuan felt that her heart had been stabbed by a knife.

Jian Shuxing immediately embraced his wife. However, no words of comfort could come out of his mouth.

For their children to be like this… The couple’s hearts felt crushed.

Jian Yuncheng looked at Jian Yunnao and smiled, “Well… Coincidentally, I have another answer here.”

As he said that, Jian Yuncheng passed a tablet to Jian Yunnao.

There were two videos that were being played on the tablet at the same time.

On the left was a video of Jian Yiling dropping off the gift that night.

On the right was a video of Mo Shiyun throwing away the gift into the bushes.

Both videos played on a loop. They were imprinted into Jian Yunnao’s eyes and shocked his brain.

Jian Yunnao’s eyes were wide open. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing on the tablet.

“I… How…”

Jian Yunnao choked on his words. The color drained out of his face.

“Is it different from what you expected?”

“Why would she do such a thing? Why would she lie to me?!”

Within a day, he had received one shock after another.
